Arsenal were in control for much of the contest, and got their reward when Gareth Barry clumsily fouled Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain in the area, allowing Arteta to finish from the spot - although he had to retake after encrouchment from Arsenal's players.

Substitute Giroud wrapped things up for the hosts in the final ten minutes.

The first was a finish from close range after good work on the right from Bacary Sagna, and the second, just two minutes later, was a classy effort past Robles after Ozil found the Frenchman with a wonderfully weighted pass.
